I'm running my application in AWS-EKS and my Jenkins instance is not yet containerized. To deploy our application we are using kubectl command in the Jenkins Pipeline. I'm wondering any best practice or plugin for Kubernetes deployment via Jenkins.

So far I found below plugins which do not completely work with my use-case.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin - To run dynamic Jenkins agents. May not be suitable for my case.

https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-cd-plugin - This plugin is providing the K8s Deployment functionality, but interacting with EKS is a bit of concern with this plugin as in EKS authentication is done by aws-iam-authenticator

Is there any plugin available in Jenkins to handle Kubernetes deployment?

Any pointers would be helpful.
